Polkadot Price Predictions: Reasons for Potential Surge

Polkadot (DOT) price has remained in a three-year consolidation phase amid ecosystem concerns. The DOT token traded at $4.35 on Saturday, down over 90% from its 2021 peak. Here are three reasons why the Polkadot price may exit this consolidation and experience significant growth in the coming months.

Strong Technical Support

The first reason for a potential DOT surge is its strong technical position. Currently, Polkadot’s price has found robust support at $3.742, overcoming multiple attempts to fall below this level since 2024. This pattern suggests a quadruple bottom, with a potential target of $11—a 169% jump from the current price. Other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Solana have recently hit their all-time highs, indicating that such a surge is not impossible.

Spot DOT ETF Approval Hopes

Another driving factor for Polkadot’s price is the hopes of a spot Polkadot ETF approval by the SEC, with 21Shares and Grayscale having filed for such ETFs. The current SEC leadership, under the Trump administration, appears more crypto-friendly than its predecessor. Previous lawsuits against major crypto companies have been dropped, increasing the likelihood of an ETF approval that could lead to greater inflows for DOT.

Inclusion in USA Crypto Reserves

Donald Trump’s executive order to create Strategic Bitcoin Reserves (SBR) suggests potential inclusion of Polkadot in the reserves, along with XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Given Gavin Wood’s role in Polkadot’s creation and its utility with various parachains (like Astar, Acala Network, and Moonbeam), it is a viable candidate for such a stockpile.

Polkadot 2.0 Upgrade

The anticipated Polkadot 2.0 upgrade may further elevate the price. This upgrade includes the Join-Accumulate Machine (JAM), enhancing scalability, flexibility, and decentralization. Features such as decentralized supercomputing and simplified smart contract deployment without expensive parachain auctions will boost accessibility. With a staking yield of over 10%, Polkadot could remain attractive for investors long-term.
